[pct-l] Canada entry permit

[Jim Bravo]

Ellen, et al:

I got a phone call from the Canada Border Services Agency the other day 
because I had failed to provide a photocopy of my US passport. Couldn't 
believe the personal service. The fellow was very personable, and we talked 
for 5 or 10 minutes. At one point he said "You wouldn't believe how many 
people are hiking this trail". Anyway, it appears they are swamped.

He said that if I emailed the photocopy as an attachment then "I can put it 
in the other big pile". I sent the email, and he sent a nice reply that he 
had received it! Am I dreaming, what government agency does this? Got to 
love those Canadians. Anyway, my application is presumably in the "other big 
pile" now! If you've sent in an app, it's in one of the big piles.
